Just heard Fujitsu Siemens released their netbook. Soon, many others will. So, now, its Asus, MSI, Dell (soon), Lenovo, Acer.
http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/13/fujitsu...-gets-revealed/Soon, all major manufacturers will follow. Prices will drop like mad.
I honestly don't think its worth buying now whilst Asus is holding market share. Soon, netbooks will be around RM999
i doubt netbooks's price will drop till RM999 so fast le ... at least give them 1 year or so ... like the 701 now.... maybe give it another 4 months then you might be able to get the AAO at 999 but not the others lo ...
Lenovo S10, S9 estimated price is more than 2k d le ... by the time netbook's price goes to RM999 (if their price is dropping, they might discontinue that particular model) ... then there will be a much better netbooks will be in the market by then ...
and also even though Asus is holding market share ... the other companies would still come out wit theirs and price it higher coz of the brand, quality and build of their laptops ...
there are tons of laptops in the market but the price of new lappies will always be expensive .... why are ThinkPads, Fujitsu, Sony, Toshiba are priced higher than compact, Acer, etc etc ... coz they are branded, people trust their brand and they are willing to pay for it =)
i would go for a X300 rather than a netbook if i got the dough anytime ... =)
I would also want to see the S10 before getting any netbook and I have to hold myself back so badly from getting the Wind or 1000H... worse part about this, I am tempting myself looking at everyone owning a netbook and posting it on the forum ... its really killing me ... hahaha
